I'm raising poults for the first time this year. I know they eat different feed (protein %) than the other babies, but people also say they raise them with chicks for the first few days because the chicks will show them how to eat, and turkeys are... slow. Maybe not so bright. Other than making your brooder extra stupid-proof and using different feed, aren't their needs pretty similar?Asking out of legitimate ignorance, not smartmouthing.

, sounds like you've got quite a menagerie! I like your attitude -- down to only 44+3. Chicken/poultry math is my greatest weakness. I hope you get that poor wandering duck sorted out without too much difficulty.
I feed everyone, regardless of age or species about 22% grower/starter. Everyone does fine on it. I just make sure that there's oyster shell for my layers. My poults from last spring grew up big and strong
